Comments on: Objection http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/10/17/objection/ I have no idea whether ''The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy'' is a good album, but I might have to buy it just on the basis of its awesome name Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:39:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Araxie http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/10/17/objection/#comment-27131 Araxie Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:42:11 +0000 http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/2009/10/17/objection/#comment-27131 This one made me chuckle, but it would have worked better if the judge looked like he was taking the lawer seriously, like, "Hmm, he's got a point..." :) This one made me chuckle, but it would have worked better if the judge looked like he was taking the lawer seriously, like, “Hmm, he’s got a point…” :)

(For those who need an explanation: Jim Carrey played a lawyer in "Liar, Liar" who was unable to lie for one full day.)

But instead of saying what they're really thinking (that is, "I hate that guy and I don't want him to win!"), they come up with some equally inane excuse and try to pass it off as a valid reason. They don't want the objection to look personal, but you know that deep down it really is. So the lawyer raising the objection is being honest in explaining the reasoning behind it.

For those who don't quite know, you can choose what to make the hotshot lawyer say, including some quite ridiculous phrases that sometimes include playground humor like this.

And the "objector's" client looks unhappy, not "huh", to me. The smug expression on the other lawyer’s face made me think that he had just scored some serious points.

It wasn't a LOL for me, but I definately smiled when I noticed the judge's expression. I also like the "Huh?" look on the client of the objecting lawyer. I think that Turquoise got it.

Not much to go on for hate though. Is this a divorce court maybe? Well, he is better dressed and much more composed, and not quite so slicked back. Not much to go on for hate though.
